[#8120] - Contact page does not load proper com_user.profile XML

In components/com_contact/models/contact.php line 434 a JForm object is created and then send through the form plugin events. If a plugin properly reacts to the context given to the JForm object, namely 'com_users.profile', and tries to edit the XML via removeField() for example, the page crashes with a 500 error, because the JForm object never loaded any XML.
I'm wondering what this code is actually any good for, since it will definitely filter out any data from the user, except for the stuff that is added in in addition to the default data. Considering the amount of additional code that is being executed for this feature, I strongly suggest to drop it. I guess, no one ever used this code and it has been in the system like this for at least 4 years.
